Best Beauty Product you will find.

As it is coming towards summer and the sun is finally making an appearance, it can only lead to one thing. I need to fake tan! I have very pale skin and I hardly get a tan even when on holiday. Which I don't mind but I think it is nice to sometimes add a little bit of bronze to your skin, I find that it can boost my confidence and make an outfit look even better. 

I have tried a lot of fake tans in the past like Garner, L'Oreal, Solait..... (list goes on). I have always wanted to try out St Tropez but I just can't justify the money on a student budget. I have read a lot of good reviews on the Bondi Sands fake tan but it is an Australian brand, that wasn't available in the UK.

However, Bondi Sands has finally made it to the UK and is stocked in Superdrug! I don't know about you but this makes me very happy. As soon as I found out I headed straight to Superdrug, there was no stopping me. My local store is very small and didn't stock all their products but it did have the Bondi Sands Mousse in light/ Medium that is perfect for me. Previously I hadn't tried a Mousse, I usually go for lotions. But I can officially say I am a changed women! This product is perfect; I cannot express how amazing this fake tan is for the price it is at. Its slightly more expensive compared to other high street brands but it is still cheaper than St Tropez.

The product is so easy to apply, without it looking unnatural or streaky. I use a mitt and two pumps of fake tan per section, then use circler motions to spread the tan over my body. I have used it on my face as well, and it didn't break me out which is another bonus. For a subtle look you can leave it on for just 1 hour, or leave it on for 6 hours for a deeper looking tan. I have done both and it provides a great pay off! I would say that the Bondi Sands fake tan gives a more olive colour pay off, so none of this orange Oompa Loompa after look.


I think my hunt for the perfect fake tan is finally over, I am now heading to Superdrug to stock up for summer.

The fashion Bucket List

I have a few things on my fashion bucket list that I wish to purchase before summer comes and goes. 

I love the crochet trend that is going around, it looks very bohemian and would be great to wear at festivals.



I also like the look of ‘head to toe in white’. This can look very chic by mixing up textures, layering multiple pieces and teaming it with a bold lip or nail varnish to add in colour.  



I also like the 'off the shoulder tops' I think that this trend is going to be everywhere this summer. Believe it or not, your shoulders have become the sexiest part of your body! The cut of this top should be a staple within everyone’s wardrobe.

Girls Night In

I love the idea of having a pamper night with the girls, I find it very relaxing and a nice break away from work. I don't think you can beat eating chocolate, watching movies and painting your nails with the people you love spending time with. 

Being at university means I don't get to see my friends at home as much as I used to, so when I go back we defiantly make the most of it. As it is coming up to spring/ summer I love to wear bright colours or pastel nail varnish, I think that it is a great way to incorporate colour into an outfit. 

So if you're looking to add some colour to your mani you may want to check out my pick 'n' mix of pretty polishes below: 




Left to Right: Sinful 'rave' // Gelly Hi Shine by Barry M 'Lychee' // Nails inc 'Victoria & Albert' // No7 'Highland Mist' // Fearne 'Air Balloon' and 'Rich Kid'. 

The Denim Dress

Think of the denim dress as a must have staple within your wardrobe for this spring/summer 2015. Buy one and you'll wear it with everything: over a tee during the day, under jackets at night. You can even pair it with trainers or add heels, lipstick and a cute bad to be evening- ready. 




How to wear it....

Over a shirt. This is a very versatile piece so try add colour, black or white to change up the look of an average denim dress. 

With tan Sandals, nothing compliments denim like tan leather sandals.
